HOW TO REGISTER AND GET APPROVED FOR THE FORUM

1. Follow Directions:
Many accounts are deleted simply because the person registering didn't follow directions during the registration process.

US Users: Put your city and state for your location. Follow instructions and DO NOT put USA, US, United States as your location. Doing so will result in your account being deleted. You can change this information once your account is approved.

Foreign Users: Put your Country and City for your location and also put a reason you would like to register. If you don't put a reason why you want to use the forum, your account will be deleted.

2. Do NOT use your email address as your username
Unless you really want it public and like spam, do not use your full email address as your board username. Remember, this is publicly visible. We have, in the past, deleted these accounts to protect you from yourself. Going forward if you want it public, then it will be public.

If you get a notice that your account was deleted then you likely didn't follow directions or we suspected that your account was a spam bot / spammer.

If you registered but then your account is not there, read above. It is most likely that your account was deleted for not following directions.

It can take up to 7 days for your account to be approved as we have to manually review and approve every registration.

Hey everyone. So my dad got this bubba'd Saiga 12 a while back. It's safe to say that the gunsmith that did it, is not working there anymore.

The conversion was done with one of the Carolina Shooters Supply kit. For some reason, the guy stripped the irons off of the gun so that he could put a fugly quadrail and a crappy Bushnell Holo on it.

It looks like it has a rear dovetail and some weird thing going on up front. I have pictures attached. I just can't make sense of the front.

Anyone know where I can get some replacement Irons that are in stock? I want to either get the factory irons or really anything at this point. Just something not UTG quality preferably. I'm trying to take that quad rail off.

That front threaded stud is for the adjustable sight rail. Your Saiga 12 is an IZ-108. They aren't as common as the IZ-109. I believe there were replacement rails available somewhere, but you would need a few other parts to go with it (adjuster dial and spring). I used to have an IZ-108 and regret getting rid of it. It ran anything right out of the box. Does your barrel happen to measure less than 18 inches by chance? A number of them were imported with sub-18 inch barrels and had to have the chokes tack welded on to them.

Sure does have a >18 barrel with a welded choke. I always thought the hackjob Gunsmith did that! Thanks for the info
